Ketchup!

So I was stumbling earlier this week and I came across a page that had old posters and propaganda. The pictures were entertaining and as I was scrolling down I came to an add for Delmonte Ketchup. The picture says "You mean a woman can open it?" It somewhat made me laugh but when I thought about it for a minute it really describes how life was at that time in history. Men were seen as strong and women as weak. If a woman couldn't open a jar she could always hand it over to a guy to open. The add was just saying they made the lid easier to get off and the person opening it didn't have to be super strong. It was just a cool idea they had at the time and I liked it. Even today those types of lids can be hard to get off, though I think it is harder to get the ketchup out of the bottle at times.
